A painting by Eric Leroux.
Eric Leroux (b. 1959) is a self-taught French artist who lived in Hanoi from 1991 to 1998. He actively engaged in the local art community and took part in numerous local and international exhibitions of contemporary Vietnamese art. In the mid-1990s, Eric Leroux proposed and initiated various art events in collaboration with Salon Natasha, including painting/performance on stage during concerts, and different workshops. These activities were considered ground-breaking in the early 1990s Vietnamese art scene.
Salon Natasha as an alternative art space had been a well-known exhibition space for artists of different generations in Hanoi. During the early years of its establishment (1990-1993), artists who exhibited at the Salon were mostly close friends with Vu Dan Tan.
Back in the early 1990s, artists that actively engaged in the Salon include Bui Thanh Phuong, Do Phan and his father Mo Thanh (a pseudonym), Nguyen Dinh Dung, Tran Thieu Quang, Bui Viet Dung, Ngo Dinh Chuong, Ngo Manh Quynh, Mai Chi Thanh, and Eric Leroux.
